Author Name : Cool Camping: England (Cool Camping)
Publisher Name : A book of out of the way, out of the ordinary camping is a terrific idea, which is why I bought the book. Many of the sites featured look amazing, and they have all been personally 'road-tested' by the CC crew. So far so very good. However there is a (quite a big in my view) downside in that although there is on the surface a large choice of sites, in reality this amounts to an average of less than four sites in each of the 23 counties/regions represented. So if you want to use this to plan a trip, rather than take it with you, then its really good and will get you to some really interesting off-the-beaten-track places (and I do intend to try some of them out), but much less use as something you carry around in your panniers or glove compartment. So great for selecting a camp for a week's holiday, but much less useful if you are on tour, the kind where you say 'This looks a nice area, let's find a campsite near here' because (my experience) the nearest one might be 50 miles away (and if you happen to be travelling anywhere near a border - Wales, Scotland -- you'll need to buy another book). Ideally this approach would suit the 'TripAdvisor' style of online consumer contributions. The CC people do have a site, but is is mainly to sell their books. Nothing wrong in that, this is really good book worth buying provided you know what it does and doesn't do - and nothing to stop someone else setting something up of course (maybe someone already has)
Minimum Price : £ 10.42
